DEALING WITH THE SHAME OF BEING CHOKED WITH YOUR OWN JACKET.

Yes, grappler. I'm aware your academy is closed this week. I realize you are using the time wisely to binge eat in an attempt to move up a few weight divisions in time for Pan Ams. I think we both know eating massive amounts of cookies chased with beer is not the most effective way to go about it, but I support you. Ultra Heavy or bust.

I know you're actually staying in shape and regrouping for 2012, which we hope and believe will be your best year as a grappling athlete. Improvement comes with more time in Jiu Jitsu - that is a fact. Let's all focus on getting better in 2012.

There is no such thing is as having too much technique, so we're hitting you with another great one from Marcelino Freitas. This is Part 2 in a series of attacks from the top brought straight to us by our good friends at Jits Magazine: a guillotine using your opponent's lapel. I've seen many variations of this kind of choke, but neve exactly this way. It's perfect.
